We're are pleased to announce the next feature introduction release of
ApacheDS. The 1.5.x branch is intended for new feature additions which may
potentially destabilize the server. However this is by far still one of the
most stable releases we've had. There are several bug fixes and new
features that have been incorporated into the 1.5.2 release:
Notable Features
----------------------------
o New schema aware ServerEntry API
o New improved installers for more platforms
o Zero configuration StartTLS and LDAPS
o DIT backed server certificate management
o ChangeLog service, snapshotting and state rollback
o Faster integration tests
o Support password hashing for Administrator
o Restart no longer needed for Administrator password changes
o Support for different Kerberos encryption types with GSSAPI
